| Paradigm or JL subwoofer Sorry this is not one of the 2 brands that you mentioned but I have been very happy with my GSG Devastator. It has a 21” lavoce driver in a semi horn loaded box. It’s big but we use it near field as a coffee table. There are 2 versions. The home ... | |
| Townshend Maximum Supertweeters I commuted blasphemy and added super tweeters to my Altec 2 ways by having new crossovers built and bringing them in at 10K. I can’t hear past 12K but somehow it’s much more detailed in the upper registries. I doubt I could hear comb filtering, an... | |
| What Makes your System Special? All of the road trips and untold hours finding and fixing old Altec parts. Turntable from Czech Republic, cabinets from Austin Texas, horns from Vietnam, speakers from high in the Ozarks, trips to Bill at GPA in Oklahoma City. Tubes from Canada, C... | |

| New Hobby Ultrasonic Record Cleaning I’m late to the party but wanted to tell you all what I’m doing. I got the Amazon US unit and a motorized LP holder that allows 6 to be done at a time. I use 10 drops of Ilfotol to the 6 liters of RODI water. I typically run it 10 minutes at 30c a... | |
| Easily the best and most significant sonic tweak one could ever make! OP, I can’t hear over 12k, and I’m 48. I wonder when I’ll need some help. I recently added some 3 way crossovers and some super tweeters to my 2 way Altec system. I can’t hear it but my wife can as she’s only 31. This is really a valuable discu... | |
| Do chinese tube preamp/amp clones interest you? My uneducated not politically correct answer is that I bought a sun audio 2A3 clone because my local record store had it on consignment, and it was an affordable experiment into SET amps. It had upgraded Mullard caps, and PSVane driver tubes. It ... | |
| Seeking mc recommendations Yes I could change the arm That would be a fun project | |
| Seeking mc recommendations The Thorens was a gift from my wife when I started in vinyl. I won’t sell it. I’m interested in experimenting with the Dual since I don’t care for the sound of the Shure M97XE that’s currently on it. I understand what you mean about a cheap MC car... | |
| Seeking mc recommendations I’ll check it out. Thank you ! | |
| New speakers ! Altec A5 ! It makes music so effortlessly. I would like to demo some 300B amps as well as some small McIntosh like the MC30 just to see what I may prefer. My 2A3 Chinese amp has great tubes in it and upgraded caps but I know there’s a lot of room for improve... | |
| New speakers ! Altec A5 ! It really is. Moving from 802 drivers to the large 288s helped a lot as did the wooden horns. It took away a lot of the honk. I did learn though how important interconnects are. We went from crap RCA to audio quest, and used XLR wherever we could... | |
| Is easy to know when a non english speaker is writting? If anyone likes to read, check out Through the Language Glass by Guy Deutscher. He explains how language actually shapes thoughts. An example may be that French contains 7500 different ways to express color. This is an exaggerated number but it pr... | |
| seeking ‘HORN’ ideas apart from Klipshc Lascalla This will probably be the least popular reply but.....Have you looked at vintage Altec ? I do currently have a pair of A5s in my listening room. Now to be honest, I have $2000 crossovers (Altecs crossovers are beyond bad) 416 woofers from GPA at a... | |
| seeking recommendations for a preamp Ok well I definitely have that. Bass is ok in u chair but at the other end of the house it’s like an earthquake |
